How does one pass an open file descriptor from one process to another?
I heard that it might have to do with the msg_accrights field of the
msghdr structure used by sendmsg(2), but I couldn't find anything in
the man pages or the FAQs... I could've sworn I'd seen this answered
somewhere before, how do you do it?
Thanks for the help!
